Ditch the paracord use hollow core 7/16 Amsteel. Its lighter, higher break strength (1600 lbs), and doesn't stretch. I just built a hammock using it and I'm quite amazed at the versitility. You can thread it through itself to make a loop that is held together like a chinese finger trap. Google continuous loops and whoopie slings to see what I mean. BTW, I made a paracord bracelet with the stuff too. Good luck on your hangs.
